Remember that when you leave this Earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received, only what you have given, a full heart enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage. -St. Francis of Assisi

Rockport Beach Park

Rockport Beach Park is a peninsula between Little Bay and Aransas Bay.

Entrance fee $4.00 day per car / $10 annual pass

Free passes available at the Chamber of Commerce

No charge to ride my bike into the park.

from their website:

"The Blue Wave campaign is America's first environmental certification for beaches. The goal of Blue Waves is to promote public awareness and voluntary participation in maintaining clean and healthy beaches. Our Blue Wave beach is litter free, is handicap accessible, has public restroom facilities, picnic sites, children's play areas, swimming, fishing, public boat ramp and is a bird sanctuary.

Looking out over Little Bay

I agree that this is a very clean beach and because of this I stayed longer than I had planned. The only thing missing was either a concession stand, a vending machine or a drinking fountain. I had a bottle of water and some snack bars, but did not have enough water with me.

The birds waited at the fish cleaning tables

for scraps to be thrown to them

Needed to find something to drink before I rode home,

stopped at Sonic on the way back to the RV park
for a Happy Hour half price limeade.

I know that most of the bloggers do not like the new "double word" verification on comments, but I have actually been using it as a challenge. Looking really closely at the words and seeing if I can get it right on the first try. I have been doing pretty good so far.

Ooooo I love Pelicans. I'd never seen one up close til we stopped at Pismo Beach and walked out on the dock. There was one just sitting on the railing. We got some really good and up close pictures. Fun memories.

My oldest daughter is considering moving to San Antonio and was in Port Aransas recently fishing with her sweetheart. She said I would love it, and I think your photos prove it. Looking forward to seeing it someday.

Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the tradewinds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover.
